The results show that the carbides play a significant role in the flow behavior and microstructure evolution during isothermal compression of M50 steel. The average apparent activation energy for deformation in isothermal compression of M50 steel is （281.1±42.6） kJ·mol^-1 at the strains of 0.4-0.8. The dynamic recrystallization of austenite grains occurs in isothermal compression of M50 steel at 1 363 K and 1 393 K, enhancing with the increase of strain rate and/or strain. The volume fraction of the carbides decreases with the increase of deformation temperature during isothermal compression of M50 steel and the fine carbides inhibit the dynamic recrystallization of austenite grain. With the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization, the austenite grains are refined, leading to a minor increase in the flow stress and apparent activation energy for deformation in isothermal compression of M50 steel. The austenite grains begin to coarsen at 1 423 K and dynamic recrystallization is limited. Hot working of M50 steel should not be performed above 1 393 K in order to achieve good workability.展开更多

A major breakthrough was achieved in the influence of primary carbide on tribological behavior. The opposite effect brought by primary carbide size on the sliding wear resistance and RCF life of M50 bearing steel was determined. Wear resistance increased with an increase in the studied primary carbide size, whereas RCF life decreased significantly. Compared with the 0 R and R positions with a relatively small carbide size, the wear volume of the 1/2 R position with a large carbide size was the smallest. Compared with the 0 R and R positions, the L10 life of the 1/2 R position decreased by 82.7% and 84.8%, respectively. On the basis of the statistical correlation between primary carbide size and the two tribological properties, a critical maximum carbide size of 5-10 μm was proposed to achieve optimal tribological performance. This research suggests that the equivalent diameter of the primary carbide should be controlled to be smaller than 10 μm, but further decreasing primary carbide size to less than 5 μm is unnecessary. The influence of primary carbide type in M50 bearing steel on sliding wear resistance was also discussed. Results indicate that the MC-type carbides with higher elastic modulus and microhardness exhibit better wear resistance than the M2C-type carbides.展开更多
